SNS GroupA man who bombarded his former partner with calls and texts from prison has been jailed for 15 months.
Daniel Hussain, 32, targeted the woman from Glasgow’s HMP Barlinnie between November 2023 and March 2024.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that Hussain and the woman were initially in a relationship.
He was remanded in custody in May 2023 for a domestic matter in which she was the victim.
Their relationship continued as Hussain was in prison with his abusive behaviour beginning in November 2023 when he left 31 voicemails over a period of four days.
Hussain was released in January 2024 with a non-harassment order not to communicate with the victim but he was arrested and remanded again after breaching it.
Hussain continued to contact the woman from a prison issue phone which included 40 voicemails.
Police later attended the woman’s home following an anonymous call.
Officers listened to a number of the voicemails some of which were narrated to the court by prosecutor Alasdair Knox.
In one call he threatened to send his “pal” round if she didn’t answer the phone.
In another, he told her she was “going down”.
Hussain pled guilty to engaging in a course of conduct which was the abuse of the woman from prison.
He also admitted breaching a non-harassment order.
Hussain absconded from Castle Huntly open prison in July 2016 while serving five-years for trying to rob a jewellers with a sword. He was caught after six days on the run.
